I love looking at macros of mushrooms.  It's been far too dry around here for them to flourish, but the recent rainfall has caused some to finally sprout.  I found several growing on my pecan tree, which isn't a good sign for the tree.  Not only did I find mushrooms, but I found bug borings.  :-(  I'm assuming it will topple over with the next good windstorm, which is sad because it provides my winter supply of pecans for the migrating birds.
Our son, Matt, has been pretty sick all week, but finally went to the doctor yesterday and was ready to get out of the house today.  I was determined to find a mushroom to photograph and his keen eye helped me find it quickly. Thanks, son.  Can't say I was tickled about lying down in the woods because deer ticks are fast runners this time of year, but I think I managed to get out without any pesky critters tagging along.
